TRAVEL IN CONNECTICUT.
That travel in this section of Connecticut
is fast increasing is evident from the stats
tics of the Consolidated road. There are now
81 passenger trains going out of New Haven
on the several divisions every day. OF this
number 81 go to New York, IS over the
Hartford division, II over the Shore Line,
five over the Air Line and four over the
Northampton. This does not include the
number of arriving trains, nor the trains
run between New York and Stamford and
other way stations, nor the Manga
tuck and Connecticut Valley divisions
and other branches on the road.
Another evidence of the great increase is
shown by the fact that although last Janu-
airy the fare was cut down twenty per cent.
the receipts are as large as formerly. OF
course the amount of travel out of New Ha
ven varies considerably and it is difficult to
get correct estimate of the number o. per-
sons who go and come to New Haven and
n NJ =
Some DAYS it is enormous and others COM
paratively light, but it is safe to say that on
average fully two thousand people leave
this city every day, and it is not improbable
that as many arrive.
